Monocule, Nicky Romero – You Don’t Know (Spotify)
“Collaborative release from "Monocule & Nicky Romero", just ready to shake the dancefloor. Sometimes music can offer more than we may expect and this is the case here! Fascinating mix of melodic Techno, with catchy loops and the hookiest wave sample qualities.”

Nicky Romero returns as Monocule with his newest dark progressive gem "You Don't Know," the leading single from his forthcoming "Monocule Volume 2" EP. The track creates a moody nighttime ambiance with undulating melodies and a deep, muted bassline, conjuring memories of hedonistic club nights and hazy mornings. Paired with its nifty, distorted vocals, "You Don't Know" makes for a versatile track that is both danceable and easy-listening. The world heard for the first time from Monocule in 2020 with the release of "Monocule Volume 1," which debuted Romero's underground project and featured Tim van Werd and Mosimann. Keep an eye out for the full "Monocule Volume 2" EP and its complete tracklist coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy "You Don't Know."
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as "Legacy" with Krewella and #1 single "I Could Be The One" with Avicii, Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collaborations with Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Mike Williams & Amba Shepherd, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, DallasK & XYLØ, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki & Kiiara to remixes for the likes of Robin Schulz, Kygo, Rita Ora, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. While showcasing his label's roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to innovate and evolve during these unprecedented times in the music industry. He debuted his ultra-modern "Another World" live stream concept last summer and keeps proving his ability to turn into gold everything he touches.
